Faith

The spiritual-science movement has created a partnership between today's scientific community and ancient wisdom adherents that's centered on the concept of the manifestation power of thought. For many it is still difficult to accept the fact that our thoughts control and influence our reality. Though we have the power to change our reality with our thoughts - most of us lack the faith to effectively use this ability. All too often, our ability to create the existence that we want escapes us, because we tend to place more focus on what we don’t want, or cannot do.

If I asked you to raise your right arm, or take five steps forward, it would not be difficult to do. The main reason is because you believe that you can do it. There are many people who, for a host of different reasons, do not believe that they can raise their arm or walk - and thus they cannot. Perhaps, due to an accident or a mental issue, physical therapy is needed to help restore those abilities. In line with that same principle, a form of mental therapy is needed to restore one's positive thought manifestation ability.

Positive thought manifestation is the ability to create exactly what we want our physical and mental reality to be. If you are not getting what you want out of life, you need a form of spiritual therapy to restore your ability to positively shape the universal energy that will allow you to achieve your goals. Negative thought manifestation will attract physical and mental energy that will prevent you from creating the life you want.

Spiritual therapy should not be confused with religion. It is based more on the scientific and spiritual concepts which maintain that energy is the connecting force to all things. There is a force that is a part of everything in our universe, and faith will allow you to tap into that force and use it to attract all that is necessary to positively affect your mental and physical reality.

Unconditional love is an important factor that is necessary for tapping into the positive energy force of thought manifestation. You must first love and accept yourself for who you are, and who you are not. The difficult part is learning to love others as you love yourself. Then you must accept the fact that true and lasting happiness cannot be obtained externally - it has to be developed internally. It is then necessary to embrace the concept of doing for others as you would do for yourself.

Understanding these things will infuse you with the courage and motivation to continue to use your positive thought ability to create the life that you want - and the faith that there is a power greater than you that will attract all that is necessary for you to achieve your goals. Most importantly, you will forge the faith not to give up. Because all things will happen at the time that they are supposed to happen.
